It was just the "fern/plant" thing.

I just got it.lol "Yeah I'm here to spy on all of you for PB"

Heh, I saw your post and immediately thought "oh god, if he posts the more... negative sections of that bit of insight, we're going to have a mess on our hands."

No we don't want that. It would be ok for a laugh but I don't want the heads of some of the white knights to explode in anger.lol

And we don't want that because...

Nope. Not a backer, even.

I was concerned my comment about early sculpts was being interpreted as insulting to someone. Not sure who those belonged to...They were ND or PBs, not Paulson's.

Oooh I hope if I'm being quoted on the KS page it's being done entirely out of context and makes me look like I'm totally raging cause that's hot


I didn't see anything there so maybe I got to the party too late and they'd deleted it. :(


Balance: If it was the funky legged render of the Spartan aka BT Archer that's ND's model. The knees on it weren't right but it was a WIP I'm sure and looks to have been fixed since then. The only previews I showed publicly were of the Tomahawk, Defender and some Regult pods. I have a bunch of other completed models but I haven't shared them.

No worries pal I don't drop names. I just wanted to share your insight with those who don't know about manufacturing miniatures. Like me

If so, PB would be handily tending to confirm the jist of your opinion.

It's in the comments on the most recent update;

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rrpgt/robotech-rpg-tacticstm/posts/716024#comments

Just your post about all the work that goes into making one of these projects take off. Politely omitting some of the more scathing commentary.

Does anyone know if RRT will be produced at the same factory in china?

Tuesday was a really long day. Went to work early, took only half my lunchtime and left early. Got home and my little one had his 4th Birthday. Once that was over I had to go teach a class. That ended at 9 pm. After that I headed home and had to see what I needed to do for a few of my classes since classes just started this week. I also had to spend a bit putting some of the kids toys together. After all that I could not resist. That same day my NDA and care package arrived with the Tactics rules in it as well as a bunch of goodies. I had to break out the rules. With my wife sleeping and me with a flashlight in hand or held by my head on the side of my neck I started reading a few pages. The book looks really clean and well written. Nearly 100 pages long with a lot of gorgeous new art. There are many pages detailing out stats on each mecha. You guys are going to love it. I can't wait to adjust my stat cards and print some off so that I and possibly some local friends can play some. Sadly with classes starting this may take a few weeks till I can get around to a game plus my daughters 6th B-day is coming up and that is going to take a weekend away from Robotech use. It's like having a present dangled before your eyes. You can open and look at it but you can't play with it for a while.

Sounds good!

*blinks*

O.o

*backs away slowly*

"Guys... don't make any sudden movements... but we have a problem."

Looking forward to some comments on the rules.
You have your priorities so cannot begrudge this "tease".

I just cannot believe you used the description of "gorgeous", do not hang out with Kevin too much it may corrupt...

Will there be an enjoyment factor of approximately 98% when I finally get my hands on a copy?

LOL, calm down, as we speak I have a email in the works on what my first impressions are to send to PB. Some of the new pics are brand new though and look pretty cool. A good portion of them you have already seen in KS stuff but there are new ones that I like.

And it's not all line art like much of the RPG books.

Interesting that the book would already have art in place as in my experience art is often dependent on the layout being a bit more finalized. Most of the times where I did play testing at WOTC we'd be just working with blank cards and given rules text with no art work or graphics until the very final run. Typically at that point we'd completed all the initial rules testing and on the final pass we'd be looking for typos and editing errors more than rules as those were already hammered out.

So the book with art is encouraging and pretty cool it's in color.

They've been claiming that the book was 'done' for months now, with variations on the theme of 'final ______' being employed.

As for Mike... we're keeping an eye on you.

Gotta be up front buddy, if you show signs of changing we'll have to put you down for your own good.

You'll hate us for that instant, but somewhere in the back of your brain meats, you'll thank us for it.

:-P

It's pretty commonly assumed here and elsewhere that there'll be Day 1 errata and/or a FAQ, so if nothing else/more seriously, hopefully his feedback can be put to good use.

Find the first typo yet, Mike?

LOL, you guys made me spew water on my keyboard!

Then my work here is done.

AWAY!

Hey all, I know there has been a few questions on this but I can confirm for you all that measuring distance for firing and movement is allowed at any time in the game by any player.

Why do I feel Mike is involved in this so that later they can have his "derivative works" banned from the public since he had insider information.

Wow I am a paranoid type.

Good to see at least some of the most active members of the community are being involved so grudgingly I give points to PB.

Since I had it all out and dated way before I was let in I find that hard to believe. Especially since I've told them they could freely use my ideas and work when we get to another KS for the other generations. I'm not it this for personal gain, although the freebies are nice, I'm in this because this is something I've waited for since I was an 8 years old kid watching cartoons at home.

What kind of swag did they send your way?

Interesting that pre-measuring is in this game. Some friends of mine were highly against it during the beta for Malifaux 2.0 (old school Warhammer players, we debated the matter at length, eventually determined it just wasn't that big a deal for the most part), but we play casually enough it probably isn't an issue.

I've long held the stance that I'd rather be beaten through luck of the dice or (preferably) skilled tactics/force selection than win because I can better judge what is 5.9 inches and what is 6.1 inches than my opponent.

I got a hardcover and a mini copy of the Shadow Chronicles, Macoss RPG supplement, New Gen Rpg Supplement, and a mini Southern Cross book plus Max and Miriya Minis. The latter are what made me the happiest.

Nice haul.

Also, beginning to think they had a third run of those figures done, because we've already had a significant number of them pop up through the swag bags, and supposedly they were selling like hotcakes at the conventions.

I mean, unless a bunch somehow didn't end up in ebay resellers hands at the FanFare.

well....they could have ordered more that what was ready in time for the conventions. I remember them saying X amount would be ready for GenCon but on the day they had less ready to sell than anticipated.

I'm just glad I got one of each. I didn't want to pay the $50 each that I saw them selling for on ebay. Now all I need is someone willing to sell some extra Jotun's from their pledge. That is the only mini I did not get.

I just got my hands on Miriya herself. So now I have my exclusive GENCON figures.
